"hey..."

I looked over my shoulders to see Changgu smiling at me, and I found myself smiling back. You have a such a cute friend, and he's very handsome.

"sol, right?" he asked.

I nodded, slightly disappointed that it's not only you who I don't talk to.

"why are you here? I saw you at the party last night, aren't you tired?"

"I am, I just came to collect my stuff from the locker," I replied. "How about you? why are you here?"

"hyojong asked me to collect the things he has here"

at the mention of your name, everything paused. images of you from last night came rushing back. I dont know from where the courage came, but I asked him about you and how you were doing.

he looked hesitant about what he was about to say, before replying,"he's fine, I guess."

despite the smile on his face, I still knew that he wasn't telling me what I needed to know. he straight up gave me lie. were you really fine?

"sol, are you listening to me?" changgu said waving his hand.

"yes, sorry. you were saying?"

"I'm throwing a small party this Wednesday, it will be just our classmates."

"that's nice"

"can you make it?"

"I'll try," I said with a smile.

"I'll see you then."

-

my phone vibrated against my belly, indicating a text from cee.

|hoeeee, guessss what!
changgu just told me that
he likes me! what the fck!
I'm dying!! AGDHSKNZG|

I smiled, remembering how much she likes him and thoughts of them together never leaving her mind.

"NOO WAY! I can't beleive
you're telling me that you're
about to cheat on me. smh."

| sORYYY bBy! I just have to!
it's CHANGGU KILL ME!|

"at least you got the one you
like, I'm so proud of you"

|sol, even you could have.
but no, "I want to sit down
and stare at him instead"
he slipped from your hands
suffer btch, it's your fault.|

"get lost"

I threw my phone aside and thought about what she said. she was right. it's my fault. I should have done something. I should have at least got closer to you.

after you left, my love for you increased. missing you makes it almost impossible for your image to leave my mind.
